"What? You know where my father is?" Ricky was left flabbergasted by Jeffrey's words
"Yes. Your mother told us and we have been secretly protecting him all these years." Jeffrey imparted.
"I see. Sorry to be a bother, but I need to get to him. I will explain everything to my father when I see him," Ricky said as he nodded. A look of expectation and longing lingered in his eyes.
"Alright, young master. I'll go send for someone to take your father here at once," Jeffrey said and made a turn to leave.
Ricky placed a hand on Jeffrey's shoulder, stopping him. "That's okay, but I want to go myself." He was feeling too eager and couldn't wait any longer.
"But young master, your mother has left something that you need to go to fetch by yourself, so I—"
"What is it?" Ricky interrupted.
"We don't know what it is. It's in our ancestral land," Jeffrey said.
"The ancestral land? It seems your clan is so extraordinary." Ricky couldn't help but smile. "Please take me there!"
"It's actually inside my body!" Jeffrey said as he gently pointed to himself.
The next moment, his right eye sparkled and a black figure slowly came out from it. The figure soon formed into a bronze body.
"Young master, this is the ancestral land of our clan," Jeffrey explained to Ricky.
As he gazed at the bronze body, Ricky felt an inexplicable impulse inside his blood and veins as if there was something about it that resonated with him.
'It seems that my blood power is really the same with the Giant blood power. But I wonder what kind of blood power it is? Does having the Giant blood power mean that I can expand my body?' Ricky thought to himself.
"Sir, you said that my mother had the same blood power as your clan. Could you please tell me where the blood power originated from?" Ricky asked. Since they were on the same team, he must know some information about the source of the Giant blood power.
"Of course. But if you still think it's a bit unrealistic after my explanation, just please refrain from laughing," Jeffrey said with a smile.
"I promise I won't laugh. Sir, you can just call me by my name. It's kind of strange to hear 'young master'," Ricky said.
"All right, Ricky." Jeffrey's smile got wider.
Apparently, he had known Ricky's real
ky to go inside too deep. Jeffrey told him that the things left by his mother were on one of the giant statues.
So he assumed that Ricky should be able to feel it since he and his mother had the same blood power.
"Ricky, the ancestor of this Ju Clan is more powerful than we could ever think. I cultivated in the Divine Manor for a period of time, and I know how it feels when facing the aura of a holy being. And I can feel it right now, in this ancestral land. I can feel the aura of a holy being.
What I'm saying is, the ancestor of the Ju Clan is very likely a powerful holy being," the Evil Mandragora stated loud.
"A holy being? That seems to be a bit too far-fetched, don't you think?" Ricky dismissively said.
"Well, I'm curious about what level your mysterious mother is at. And even more so, which level does your blood power correspond to?" the Evil Mandragora said.
"I'm curious too, you know." Ricky shrugged as he shook his head.
He then calmed himself down and started with his task. He approached every giant stone statue and sensed them carefully one by one.
'Mother, what did you leave for me this time? Why can't you see that what I really want is to only see you?' He gave out a sigh.
He was deep in his thoughts when one of the giant stone statues lightly buzzed.
He felt some resonance as the sound rang.
The stone statue then suddenly radiated a beam of golden light. The light condensed into a shadow of a giant golden axe and drew towards Ricky's hand, forming a mark.
